Amazingly, This Is Actually An Important NFC Game
As insane as it might be to contemplate, the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that seemingly hasn't won in months, a team that is legitimately trying to figure out if they're going to start Jeff Garcia or A.J. Feeley, a team that its fans can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to hate properly ... this t...
Nothing More Enraging Than A Buzzsaw Loss
You know, we have to admit, if we were a fan of the St. Louis Rams, or, say, a former USC star who isn't even strong enough right now to make the active roster of the St. Louis Rams, after losing convincingly to the Buzzsaw yesterday, well, we might want to stab someone in the face too....
Join The Bowl Game Pants Party, If You DARE
For those of you still paying attention, we're still running our NFL Pants Party Pick 'Em league; with 2,512 entrants, a man/woman named "T. Clark," and his/her entry "Inst. of Victory Science" is comfortably in first place, with 132 correct games picked. (That's actually eighth in the entire ESPN.c...
Wear The Jersey Of Your Favorite Player's Venereal Disease!
You might remember the famous OutSports expose on the words that the NFL won't allow you to print on the back of their jerseys. Apparently, this guy, from the Atlanta game last weekend, was somehow able to iron on this tribute to Ron Mexico himself....
Punching Cops In The Chest? BAD IDEA
Can you believe it has only been a month since a Cincinnati Bengal was arrested? Seriously, it's almost as like they were winning and no one had noticed!...
Perhaps She Has Chosen The Wrong Collegiate Extracurricular Activity
The M Zone takes a moment away from screaming at the heavens and cursing Allah to bring us this video, from the USC-UCLA game Saturday — way to step up, Trojans, by the way — and the famous Unable To Figure Out When Is, In Fact, The Correct Time To Cheer cheerleader. She has a tendency to strike dur...

BCS Mess Claims More Victims: Everyone
Who's unpopular in the Michigan area right now? Former Washington State coach Jim Walden, the one member of the Harris BCS poll who voted Florida No. 1 in the country and one of the reasons the Gators are playing Ohio State in the BCS "title" game rather than Michigan. Walden is hardly alone in his ...

Sunday Night Football: Seahawks @ Broncos
Tonight, Jay Cutler becomes the next Broncos quarterback that no one in Denver will like because his name isn't "John Elway." Well, that might not be true. They could end up liking him. Denver had Super Bowl hopes as recent as a few weeks ago, so all Cutler has to do is rescue the floundering team, ...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #4
• The Texans beat the Raiders. I feel like taking a baseball bat to my television, and I didn't even care who won this game. I don't even think anyone in Oakland or Houston cared about who won this game. Ron Dayne, the man whose career would not die, carried the ball 18 times for 95 yards. David C...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #3
• Last week, Mathias Kiwanuka had Vince Young wrapped up for a sack, and let him go... this week, Kiwanuka intercepted a pass, and them fumbled it right back to the Cowboys. It's as if he wants Tom Coughlin to kill him in his sleep. Eli Manning is sort of outplaying Tony Romo right now. Romo's got 2...
LA Times Says Florida vs. Ohio State
The Los Angeles Times is quoting a BCS source as saying that it'll be Florida and Ohio State in the BCS Championship game. They don't offer a lot of details about either how it happened, or their source, but they seem pretty confident about it....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #2
• What a week for Pac-Man Jones... he gets his seized car back at a bargain price, and now, his Titans have pulled the big-time upset of Indianapolis Colts. And they did it despite wearing powder blue uniforms, which is normal and fine... except when paired with powder blue pants, when it starts to ...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #1
• This one... I do not understand. The Lions have walked onto the shiny new FieldTurf surface and are leading the Patriots 10-3. It's been the Mike Furrey show, as he has six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown. The Bill Belichick genius has been effective to this point in his career, but the one t...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: There Has To Be A Better Way To Do This
• UCLA 13, USC 9. What it means: It means that Snoop Dogg is going to need to make new plans for January 8th, because he won't be in Glenvilledale rooting on the Trojans, and I doubt Jim Tressell's going to be giving him an invite. Said coach Pete Carroll, "We did not anticipate this happening." ...

There's A Football World Cup? Real Football?
We're not sure how we missed this, but apparently, in July 2007, there's going to be a football World Cup. And not the weird foreign kind of football either; we mean, like, real football....
